Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Hello, I do not post too much here because, I am trying to learn about the oils and the whole natural idea. I do not know enough as of yet to post but, do hope to soon. Anyway, the reason I am writing is I have 3 dogs that we rescued, They of course are hairy and sometimes smelly. I am looking for a natural spray or wash that I can get rid of the dog smell, I need something that will not be harmful to the dogs seeing my oldest dog has cushings and I have to be really careful. I have one that is still a pup so the accidents are still happening from time to time.... Sorry for being so long winded but, I have a habit of that. anyway, I would like to thank all of you for all the input and the information you have supplied me.... I love this group. thanks, Charlotte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 thank you Ani! once again you have been a big help. - Ani Wednesday, April 19, 2006 10:15 PM Re: Dogs How to Apply Essential Oils to Animals: For non-ungulate animals (not having hooves) such as dogs or cats, oils (neat or diluted) can be applied to paws for faster absorption. For hoofed animals, sprinkle a few drops on the spine or flanks and massage them in. Also apply on the gums, tongue or underneath the top lip or on the frog and hoff rings of horses. This is an excellent location for oils to be applied to cows, horses, etc., all animals with hooves. Oils can also be applied to auricular points of the ears. Example of Application: If you have a high-spirited, jittery horse that is tough to saddle, apply Peace & Calming and Valor on yourself. As you approach him, he will have a tendency to bow his head or flare his nostrils when he perceives the aroma. Kneel down or squat beside him and remain still so that the animal can become accustomed to the smell. As he breathes in the fragrances, he will become calmer and easier to manage. Look for books and video tapes on the use of essential oils with animals. I recommend the video tape, Essential Tips for Happy, Healthy Pets, and the Raindrop Technique for Horses, available from Essential Science Publishing. Oils For Pets Oils For Pets: Here are a few essential oil pet recipes you can use to help your four-legged friends: Calming: Peace & Calming, Trauma Life, lavender. Fleas and other Parasites: Single oils: Lemongrass, Melaleuca alternifolia, eucalyptus, peppermint. Oil Blends: Di-Tone. Add 1-2 drops of lemongrass to shampoo. Oils repel fleas and other external parasites. Wash blankets with oils added to the wash during the rinse cycle. Place 1-2 drops of lemongrass on collar to eliminate fleas. For internal parasites, rub Di-Tone on the pads (bottom of feet). Insect Repellent: Put 10 drops each of Purification, Eucalyptus globulus, and peppermint in an 8-oz spray bottle with water. Alternate formula: Put 2 drops pine, 2 drops Eucalyptus globulus, and 5-10 drops citronella in a spray bottle of water. Shake vigorously and spray over area. Floral waters such as peppermint and Idaho tansy can also be used. Mites: (ear mites) Apply Purification and peppermint to a Q-Tip and swab just the inside of the ear. Nervous Anxiety: Valor, Trauma Life, chamomile, geranium, lavender, and valerian. Pain: Helichrysum, PanAway, Relief It, and peppermint diluted with vegetable oil 2:1. Shiny Coat: Rosemary and sandalwood. Ticks: To remove ticks, apply 1 drop cinnamon or peppermint on cotton swab and swab on tick. Then wait for it to unhedge the head before removing from animal's skin. Wounds: Melrose, helichrysum, and Rose Ointment.
